Question about stickies

After looking at some of the recent posts in the Surf San Diego contest, it is apparent that many of the new members don't bother to read the stickies before they post.

I understand the difficulty the mods and advisors face in reading every new post when there are hundreds of new posts here everyday. What I wonder is if it's possible to bar new members from posting in a particular forum until after they have read the stickies? Sort of like when you download a program and you have to hit the "I agree" button in the terms and conditions to finish the setup?
